AHS has received 3,930 coronavirus-related complaints and services requests since January, according to Kerry Williamson, the executive director of issues management for AHS. The seven orders issued date back to March 20 at the earliest.

On March 17, the province declared a public health emergency and banned Albertans from public places like casinos, bingo halls, theatres, children’s play centres, recreation centres and arenas, science centres, museums and art galleries, community centres, fitness facilities, and entertainment facilities like movie theatres.

Kenney had said fines for violating an order could be as much as $1,000 per offence while courts will also be able to levy fines of up to $100,000 for a first offence and up to $500,000 for a subsequent offence for “more serious violations.”
